the idea of eliminating funding for research across america, medical research? how can that make any sense whatsoever? a 10 or 20% cut in medical research at the n.i.h., saying to the national laboratories where critical research in energy efficiency is underway that we're going to basically close down half of their programs the remainder of the year? that's not a thoughtful approach to deficit reduction. >> woodruff: senator, do you think it's realistic to expect the republicans to come down from 57 or 60 billion where they are now to the freeze? >> i think it's realistic for them to sit down and bargain in good faith, to listen to us as we listened to them. to decide what is best for this economy. as i said if this is not bragging rights for the biggest number in cuts, then we've lost sight of our responsibility to make a serious judgment about whether a cut is important for the future of our economy or it is not. $100 billion in a short period of time doesn't show the kind of reflection and thoughtfulness the american people expect of congress. >> woodruff: s

when was the last time we heard of good will toward america? the majority of us have not, and do not expected. some attempt to obscure the fact for novel ways of slicing and dicing the numbers. but the budget request for the international affairs continues to sit back increases of recent years. the cumulative 64 -- $61.4 billion international affairs request is a 42% increase over fiscal year 2008 levels. the increases are more dramatic when we focus on the state department's own salaries and operations. the $12 billion state program request is a 25% increase over 2010 actual levels, and nearly 75% since 2008. there is also the problem of misplaced priorities. the administration should not promos -- propose massive increases in global health and climate change programs while cutting key programs such as the trans-the sahara counter- terrorism partnership and the partnership for regional east africa counter-terrorism, particularly as al qaeda affiliates in africa set their tights -- their sights on american targets, and american citizens are bei
